587 Donation (1 more)
After taking a step back, Concubine Shu realized something was wrong. She took a veil and wanted to wipe Song Wanyue's hair to save the mistake just now.
Seeing her reaching out her hand, Song Wanyue didn't know what she wanted to do, subconsciously took a step back, but tripped on the threshold, and fell straight backwards, grabbing Shufei's hand in panic.
Concubine Shu was taken by her and fell forward.
"Empress!"
The eunuch on the side and the palace maid who accompanied him came forward in panic to help him.
There was a mess at the door.
The people hiding in the dark watched could not help but open the door and looked here on their tiptoes.
Song Wanyue and Shufei were barely supported.
"Grandma forgive me, and I wish you guilt!"
After Song Wanyue stood firm, she couldn't help apologizing, and her hair that was stained with soil fell on Shufei again.
Concubine Shu resisted the urge to slap her away, "No problem, it's the time for me to come."
Song Wanyue seemed to be frightened and waved her hands anxiously, "Empress Do not say that. If you can come, our family will be full of glory. It is a blessing brought by the eight generations of dead ancestors."
This was obviously cursing her, and Shufei twitched her mouth in anger.
"big……"
The eunuch, the word "门" was not scolded, but was stopped by Concubine Shu. She was here to give Song Wanyue the royal silver today, not to settle the score with her.
"Please in the house of the queen.
It seemed that he had not heard the eunuch general manager's words, Song Wanyue took a step back and made a gesture of invitation respectfully.
Concubine Shu's voice increased without a trace, "I will not go in. I am here to give Miss Song a million taels of silver for my rioter."
Her words fell, and there were sounds of sucking air sounding around her.
Concubine Shu was very satisfied with the effect and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Reach out...
The aunt in charge handed the box to her. Concubine Shu waved to Song Wanyue and opened the box himself, "There are one million taels in it, you can count it."
She thought Song Wanyue would refuse, after all, so many silver notes would make people jealous, but she didn't expect Song Wanyue to respond frankly, "Okay."
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and signaled the eunuch to bring the horse stool over. She put the box on it, "Miss Song, don't be anxious, it's full."
The silver notes are all worth ten thousand taels per piece, a total of one hundred pieces.
Song Wanyue took it out one by one, counting it seriously, "One, two, three..."
The corners of Shufei's mouth were successfully curled up.
With so many pairs of eyes looking at it, in just half an hour, everyone in the capital would know that Song Wanyue had received one million taels, then...
Concubine Shu seemed to see the scene of Song Wanyue being separated by the body, and she felt very happy and the smile on her face became even more kind.
Standing in the sunshine, I waited patiently for Song Wan to finish the month.
"It's exactly one million taels, no more or less, thank you."
Concubine Shu was very concerned, "It is best not to keep so many silver notes at home. It is safest to find a money house to save it."
"Thank you, I understand,"
Concubine Shu hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out her hand to touch her wet head, "I am apologizing to you by the third prince of Dai and my father. I know that these are useless to you, but this is all I can do. I also give you a guarantee. If you encounter anything in the capital in the future, you can go directly to the palace to find me. I will definitely protect you. As long as you don't kill someone and set fire, you will be safe."
"Thank you, my dear, Yue'er wrote it down."
Concubine Shu took back her hand and turned to the sedan chair.
When the sedan chair walked away, Song Si quickly ran back, "Little sister..."
"Brother, go change the official uniform."
Song Si ran back to his house without any hesitation.
Xiao Yao also ran over with a small step.
Song Wanyue and she went back to the main hall, put the box on the table, quickly fed water to rinse the hair, twisted it casually, and went back to the house to change clothes.
"Concubine Shu came to give the money with such a big fanfare, just to let everyone know, especially to let those bad people know and make them malicious. We can't do it as she wants. My brother will accompany me to the Ministry of War and donate the money."
Song Si instantly understood what she meant and immediately asked Qing'er to call the carriage and leave Xiao Yao here to guard the house. He and Song Wanyue came to the Ministry of War in the carriage.
The people from the Ministry of War were idle and gathered together in groups of three or three to discuss the matter of the third prince borrowing money to compensate the Song family.
Just as he was talking, he looked up and saw a carriage outside the door and stopped. Song Si got off the carriage.
Everyone was stunned.
Then someone greeted him, "Song Hanlin, are you in trouble?"
Song Si raised the box in his hand, "My little sister and I are here to donate."
Donate?
Everyone looked at each other.
Someone ran quickly to report to the Minister of War.
The Minister of War thought it was strange. This was the first time since the establishment of the Daxing Dynasty that someone donated money to the Ministry of War. He personally welcomed it, and others followed him out to watch the fun.
"Sir Shangshu."
Song Si bowed in the box.
The Minister of War nodded slightly, "I wonder why Song Hanlin wanted to donate money to the Ministry of War?"
"It's my little sister's meaning. Last time she heard Prince Shen say that the soldiers of the border were very hard, and wanted to use this million tael to improve their food and clothing, so that they have no worries, can concentrate on training, and can defend our border more carefully."
After his words, several sniffles sounded.
This is one million taels, not ten taels, not one hundred taels, just donated so easily?
The Minister of War did not expect that there would be one million taels! His heart was shocked, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Song Wanyue. Seeing that she was only an eight or nine-year-old girl, but she had such courage, I secretly admired her.
"This is the first time I have encountered such a thing. You wait and I will meet the Lord."
The two were invited to the Ministry of War, and the crowd was eager to pour water for them and served the best pastry.
Although the Ministry of War is in charge of the troops, whenever there is any major expenditure, it will be different. They can stand up in front of the Ministry of Revenue and no longer have to look at their faces.
The Minister of War entered the palace very quickly.
The emperor was reviewing the memorial. After listening to it, he looked up in disbelief, "Did you say they want to donate one million taels?"
"yes."
The Minister of War tried hard to suppress his voice and not float, but even so, his voice was filled with irresistible joy. Even when there was a war, he didn't even have one million taels at once.
Bang!
The emperor put the red pen on the table.
The Minister of War was in his heart.
He knew what was going on with that one million tael, so he came to the palace to report to the emperor, but it depends on the emperor's meaning...
"Do they have any requests?"
"have."
"explain."
"They asked the money to be used to improve the food and clothing of border soldiers."
The emperor's face became heavier.
The Minister of War's heart also sank to the bottom.
